I’m always telling my patients to drink lots of water after their massage treatment and during their day-to-day lives. Here’s why: Your body tends to build up metabolic wastes and toxins. These are the bi-products of each metabolic reaction that takes place every moment in your body, such as the exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide in your lungs or the production of lactic acid in your muscles during exercise. These waste products get trapped and deposited in-between areas of soft tissue. Massage helps to manually push these wastes and toxins into the blood stream and lymphatic system where they will be eliminated by the body, or converted into usable elements. Drinking water in turn, aids in the flushing of most of these wastes out of your body by transporting them to the liver and kidneys for disposal. If you don’t drink enough water, there is a possibility that you could have a negative reaction from all the toxins now in your blood stream from your massage, such as a headache. 10 More Reasons to Drink Water:
